I thought durian was banned on the trains

Maybe they could just add a few cars to the train so they'd have enough capacity to handle all of the paying customers?

What the hell kind of high powered mutant stink would be so vile enough to be noticeable in Jakarta?

Spoon over Marin: FTFA: Indonesia has tried just about everything to keep passengers from clamouring atop trains that crisscross its main island of Java: spraying them with paint guns, calling in sniffer dogs, and asking for help from Muslim clerics.

Um, Why?

You don't think that appealing to "the church" that represents most of the population of the most populous, Muslim nation on earth is a reasonable idea? Imam talks about it on Friday at prayer service, about the dangers to "surfers," riders, and passers-by alike, maybe people think about it before they next hop atop the train.

The simple answer is that they're mostly Muslims.

yeast infected, obese grandma's vag.

combined with re-re-re-re-re-microwaved fish.

They just need the right guy for the job.

Ke$ha's old pantie laundry?

jaylectricity: The dangling balls didn't work?

The balls were only good for non-electric trains apparently.

So I guess the goop is good for electric trains?

Now there's a movie I completely forgot about...

Couldn't they just slather thick grease on the roofs? In college the ropes course people slathered grease on planks and attached them to the base to stop drunk college kiddos from climbing it after hours.

Laughs at your putrid attempts.

jaylectricity: The dangling balls didn't work?

Too many people willing to accept a concrete teabagging for a free ride.

Uh.. why am I covered in ah pink goo?

How does The New York Transit Authority keep commuters off the top and sides of its cars?

Why not just cover the roofs in tacks or something sharp or just make the roofs in a way that they cannot be traveled on top of like pyramid shaped

TheGreatGazoo: Maybe they could just add a few cars to the train so they'd have enough capacity to handle all of the paying customers?

Why pay to ride inside when you can ride on the roof for free? It isn't a matter of seat availability, it's a matter of people stealing a service.

If Southwest Airlines is the Greyhound of the skies, are these trains the Southwest of the railroad?

Yeah, but presumably people are doing this because they need to. I don't think it is mainly a matter of joy-riding, but rather they need a ride and either the trains are too full or they don't have money for it. So I'm not sure how a church appeal is going convince people to stop people commuting to get to where they need to go.

Simple: Dangling subway balls.

Combining the two deterrents will give new meaning to stanky balls to the face.

Why the hell don't they provide videos of this?

Brown people problems.

I was there last summer, took the train from Jakarta to Yogyakarta - side note, get out of Jakarta as soon as possible - and waiting at the station trains would come in with the top of the trains full. All the tourists would whip out the cameras.

So you are saying we should get the R.I.A.A. on this.

AlwaysRightBoy: TheGreatGazoo: Maybe they could just add a few cars to the train so they'd have enough capacity to handle all of the paying customers?

I don't think the 'rail surfers' are paying customers. I see no conductors on the roof of that train in the pic.

Fta "Hundreds have clamored to the roofs in the past because they want to escape overcrowded carriages, can't afford the price of a ticket, or, simply, for fun."

I am getting a rather nasty picture in my head. Are these (thick?) broom handles dripping gloop whilst dangling between two giant sized balls? Hmm... That kinda reminds me of something but I can't quite place my finger on it...

If you don't think that religion can get people to do things against their own interest, maybe you're not ready for this site. Just sayin'.

Jizz mops?

But riding that train through the Broom of Eternal Stench is the only way I can get by baby brother Toby back from the bishōnen Goblin King!

/and where are the parents in all of this?

Low concrete archways outside each station to squeegee the people off as they pass through.

LeroyBourne: Couldn't they just slather thick grease on the roofs?

Putrid smelly goop is cheaper.
